Luke Humphries emphatically took down Ryan Joyce after being on the edge of defeat at the Flanders Darts Trophy in Antwerp.
The World Number One took out a blockbuster 149 with Joyce waiting on 81 after nine darts for a superb win. But never count out 'Cool Hand Luke' as he produced the goods when it mattered most.
Joyce sealed three legs on the spin going 3-1 up with a 120 checkout setting him up in the ascendancy. Humphries continued to miss doubles but finally made it 3-2 hitting double two.

Searle was sat on 128 for the win but Smith laid up 54 from 139 which saw the pressure toll on 'Heavy Metal'. But the pressure also got to Smith who missed two darts to remain in the tie and Searle sealed the win on double 20.
